1. Shitballs ive been remembering/quoting air force one wrong for years. Oops. (Note the signature)

2. Not a movie, but in the sopranos, i wanna say season 5? A guy working for tony notably went to michigan, and at one point tony's thrown something in his lap to deal with and says "come on, university of michigan- figure it out!"

3. My "worst state ever" shirt is in bar rescue season 3 twice. Cool story bro.

I worked on the show for a little more than a season- theyre good people- invariably some shitty things happen as far as city fines and permitting but the show always took care of it after the fact if it wasnt all cleared beforehand. Thing is you have to get the place camera ready in 30-36 hours and then after the filming contractors are usually paid to fix and make things code and deal with inspections. A ton of money goes into it, and sometimes people are just pissed be ause they wanted more rehabbed than the show needed for shooting purposes- its really a symbiotic thing- no place ever is left with less than they went into it with.

i was working on a tv show that was traveling from los angeles to fort lauderdale. i had volunteered to drive the grip/camera truck across the country as it would mean some extra days of work/money. landed the truck at the W ft lauderdale and was excited to no longer be driving- came around the corner from the truck staging area to the valet area/entrance to the hotel to find no less than 40 people crowding around the entrance. people blocking doorways has to be a top 5 pet peeve of mine, and i was in a foul mood/road weary. carrying my bag, suitcase, and a large laser printer for the production department, i reverted to what i usually do on set in these situations and started calling out "points!" and "make a hole or get a brand new one" (which is stupid grip lingo for excuse me.) it didn't matter- no one was moving, so i started slowly nudging my way through the giant crowd, determined to get in that god damned door and begin the arduous process of checking into my room under a massive group reservation. people were kind of getting the picture and were sort of moving out of the way, until i ran, printer first into a guy who just wasn't moving. i look up, and it's ndomukong suh. he looked confused and half mumbled "excuse me" while i drew several of the DIRTIEST looks ever from the suits that were with him.

TLDR: someone buy our offensive line some laser printers/COOL STORY BRO/stop using run on sentences you idiot

it seems like a big focus on defense is for people in a position group to learn all the different positions- unsure if thats something that normally happens when you play multiple or if this is something this staff does that's uncommon- maybe itll soften the blow when people at a thin position take an injury? at any rate, im pumped about it

serious question- how does everyone else seem to be able to see upvotes and downvotes here? i must be stupid. i've never been able to see them and i guess it's not super important, but it's been driving me crazy. neg me to death if need be, just someone tell me what i'm doing wrong! please!
